October 6, 2025--The stitching on this roly poly Balloon Santa is done and it's now ready for me to work up the little beaded gift basket (see project photo below). This shouldn't be difficult since I've done many peyote beaded bracelets and the instructions look easy enough. Stay tuned.

September 26, 2025--I haven't worked on a Janet Zickler Casey Santa since April and this is one I've been looking forward to stitching because of the peyote beaded "gift" attached to the balloon (see project photo below). I'm halfway done with the hat, and the beard will probably be next. These Santas are always so much fun to do.
Here's my progress so far:

Can you tell me where you obtained this canvas? I have stitched all of her Santa‘s (don’t know exact # but I believe it’s about 23 or 24)that were available through her distributor but I know that certain ones are not available because they are only available through a class. Her website is not updated so I would not know how to go about taking a class to be able to obtain canvases, such as this she has not made available to the distributor.
ReplyDeleteThanks for any info you can give me
Hi Anonymous. This was a kit purchased in 2023 through the Northern Virginia Chapter of ANG. I believe it was also offered through the Shining Needle Society by Kate Gaunt. Hope you're able to find it. Have you written directly to Janet Zickler Casey?
DeleteYes, I have written to her email and she has told me whatever is available is through her distributor who my LNS has contacted, but they continue to have only a limited amount and say they don’t know when she will make additional designs available.
DeleteThis Santa was also a class taught at the ANG 2023 Seminar.
DeleteMy only suggestion is to go onto the ANG website and send an email to all members asking if anyone has the kit and are willing to sell it.
DeleteMany thanks for the suggestion!
